MALACCA: Penang had celebrated the Chinese New Year by lifting the Charity Shield last Sunday. Yesterday, it was Malacca who ended the festive season with a delightful 1-0 Chap Goh Mei day win over the islanders in a Premier I match at the Stadium Hang Tuah here.
With many local fans staying away to catch the English FA Cup action between Manchester United and Arsenal on television, only a token 1,800 crowd was on hand to witness second half substitute Mohamed Suffian Samsubari netting an 86th minute winner for the home team.
